Wait a Minute!! whos the Racist.?

“Dog” the Bounty Hunter Gets His Show Back, Proving it’s OK to be a Racist.

Written by mightyminnow

A&E announced today that it will resume airing the hit reality show ”Dog the Bounty Hunter,” which was taken off the air a few months back after the show’s star, Duane “Dog” Chapman, was exposed as a racist.

Dog’s racism came to light after his son, Tucker, published a recording of his dad repeatedly using the word “nigger” in reference to Tucker’s Black girlfriend. The recording cost Dog his show after A&E started losing advertisers, who probably didn’t want to be associated with such a racist. At the time anyway.

Fortunately for Dog, his period of penance seems to be over and A&E has decided he has done enough apologizing. Apparently, appearing on a bunch of radio and TV programs and expressing remorse for using a racial slur is enough to convince some people that one is not in fact a racist. Who knew.

Here’s the network’s take on their decision to resurrect Dog’s show:

Over the last few months, Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman has taken and continues to take the appropriate steps in reaching out to several African American organizations in an effort to make amends for his private comments to his son which were released publicly. Since the premise of ‘Dog The Bounty Hunter’ is about second chances, we have decided to give him one.”

I love America, home of the second chance, where there are no racists, only people who throw “nigger” around like their lives depend on it. If I had my way, Dog would never be allowed anywhere near a TV camera again. But I’m just a lowly blogger. And I don’t own A&E, which clearly seems to think that being a racist is OK, as long as you spend enough time apologizing not for your racist attitude, but for your choice of words. After all, there’s no such thing as a racist, right? Dog’s not really a racist, is he? He’s just a regular guy who was caught on tape casually using a word that demeans, denigrates, and dehumanizes an entire population. How silly of me to have confused him with a racist!!!

Now, I’m as big a believer in second chances as A&E: I just happen to believe that there should be consequences for holding racist attitudes, which lie at the heart of so many of the divisions and social inequalities that plague our society today. It took Dog a lifetime to become the racist that he is, and I’m pretty sure that spending a few months “reaching out to several African American organizations” is not going to make him less of a racist. But what do I know. I’m not the star of a hit reality show.

Luckily for Dog, his show was popular and I’m sure plenty of people—who have less of a problem with racism than I do—will be happy to start watching it again. But I’m sure few will be happier than A&E executives, whose decision to put “Dog the Bounty Hunter” back on the air probably has little to do with second chances and everything to do with money. Clearly, they think the loss of advertising dollars was too great a price to pay for taking a courageous and principled stance against racism.

Gotta love America.

NOW MY RESPONSE TO THE ASSHOLE WHO WROTE THE BLOG ABOVE...

MR.Mightyminnow, you are a MORON, and clearly you need some attention and a little history lesson others in the past have said the "N" word people in high places that have taken real hard hits because of it,some have even had death threats on their children,and their families and have lost their jobs as well have been black balled from working in their fields again, some of the more resent famous folks are Micheal Richards, "Kramer" and Imus,personally I don't Imus and what he said was not funny,it was at best a real bad failed attempt at garbage humor but thats Imus if you listen to his show thats what he does and he didn't say he was sorry and should have..but now caught in the bullshit of this is " Dawg" Chapman Bounty hunter, but think about this ...in the Dawgs case he was making a call to his son and telling him how pissed he was... it was a personal call to his kid that was taped...Richards was on stage and lost it over a fan that was heckling him and..Imus was on the air and was just plan rude, but Dawg?? no this was wrong on a few different levels, one he shouldn't had used that word but to his defense its like the "F" word that is used in high emotional circumstances when someone is mad or angry its always a word that is used to shock or show someone how emotional you are at the time and often people greet each other on the streets with the "N" word " hey whats up my N*gger? MR MIGHTYMINNOW this word is also used in comedy routines from African Americans thats ok right??!!! this word is losing its meaning as a degrading word against a race, the word N*GGER means nothing its just a word ,but still wrong in this case The Dawg was talking about his sons girlfriend who is in fact African American but if he knew he was he was being taped I am sure he wouldn't had said it, he said it to hurt his SON to shock him...he thought it was a Private conversation he shouldn't have to apologize for being angry we all have said things we don't mean when we are angry, however he should be sorry that his kid is an asshole and sold that tape to the national inquire...
But there is Mark Fuhrman remember him ?,how can we forget him anyone who watches fox network news knows he is on all the time when they need expert analysis on a crime scene or even one taking place and is often seen on Greta " On the Record",but did you forget all the Nasty and Hateful things he said????? and he wasn't angry!!!, talk about The "Dawg" HA...Mark has Imus and Richards beat by a mile in case you don't remember Mark Fuhrman was the lead detective in the OJ trial the reason OJ was found not guilty, cause Mark must have planted evidence he is a racist!!! this is what was released.

On the arrest of a man in the Westwood neighborhood

"He was a n*gger. He didn't belong. Two questions. And you are going: Where do you live? 22nd and Western. Where were you going? Well, I'm going to Fatburger. Where's Fatburger. He didn't know where Fatburger was? Get in the car."

On criteria for stopping cars

"N*gger drivin' a Porsche that doesn't look like he's got a $300 suit on, you always stop him."

On where he grew up in Washington state

"People there don't want n*ggers in their town. People there don't want Mexicans in their town. They don't want anybody but good people in their town, and anyway you can do to get them out of there that's fine with them. We have no n*ggers where I grew up."

On L.A. neighborhoods

"Westwood is gone, the n*ggers have discovered it. When they start moving into Redondo and Torrance. Torrance is considered the last white middle class society."

On the LAPD chokehold

"We stopped the choke because a bunch of n*ggers have a bunch of these organizations in the south end and because all n*ggers were choked out and killed--twelve in ten years."

On changes in the LAPD

"That we've got females...and dumb n*ggers, and all your Mexicans that can't even write the name of the car they drive."

On using suspects to practice martial arts kicks

"I used to go to work and practice movements....I used to practice my kicks.

On police misconduct investigations

"Now, it's funny because guys in Internal Affairs go, `Mark, you can do just about anything. Get in a bar fight. We'd love to investigate just some `good ol boy' beating up a n*gger in a bar."

On brutalizing suspects during interrogations

"Why don't you give them the 77th lie detector test? [The "77th" refers to the LAPD division in South Central L.A. where Fuhrman worked for many years]...And a bunch of guys will laugh--old timers, you know. And then one kid will ask his partner, `what's that?' You choke him out until he tells you the truth. You know it is kind of funny. But a lot of policemen will get a kick out of it."

On attitude toward interrogating Black people

"When you are talking to somebody it is not like you are really listening into their words because you will key on what is the truth and what isn't. First thing, anything out of a n*gger's mouth for the first five or six sentences is a fucking lie. That is just right out. There has got to be a reason why he is going to tell you the truth."

On the destruction of the 77th precinct station

"Leave that old station. Man, it has the smell of n*ggers that have been beaten and killed in there for years."

On taking a suspect "to the baseball diamond."

"We basically get impatient with him being so fucking stupid. Which I thought he was. So I just handcuffed him and went the scenic route to the station. We searched him again and found the gun. Went over to the baseball diamond and talked to him. When I left, Dana goes, `No blood, Mark.' `No problem, not even any marks, Dana.' Just body shots. Did you ever try to find a bruise on a N*gger. It is pretty tough, huh?

On assuming guilt and shooting suspects in the back

"Where would this country be if every time a sheriff went out with a posse to find somebody who just robbed and killed a bunch of people, he stopped and talked to them first. To make sure they had guns. Tried to take them--they shot them in the back. We still should be shooting people in the back. It's just that you've got to hire people who are capable of doing it. And capable of figuring out who the bad guys are.

On assuming guilt and fabricating reasons for making an arrest

Fuhrman: "I didn't arrest him under anything, just took him to the station, ran him for prints, gave them to the detectives to compare with what they've got in the area. I'll probably arrest a criminal that way."

McKinny: "So you're allowed to pick somebody up that you think doesn't belong in an area and arrest him?...

Fuhrman: "I don't know. I don't know what the Supreme Court or the Superior Court says, and I don't really give a shit...If I was pushed into saying why I did it, I'd say suspicion of burglary. I'd be able to correlate exactly what I said into a reasonably probable cause for arrest."

On falsifying evidence

"So if that's considered falsifying a report, and if some hype [junkie], you know says, ah, you know whatever, I shot [up] two days ago, and you find a mark that looks like three days ago, pick the scab, squeeze it, looks like serum's coming out. As if it were hours old. It's a hard find. You just can't find the mark. Cause he's down. His eyes don't lie. That's not falsifying a report. That's putting a criminal in jail. That's being a policeman."

On brutalizing people for speaking Spanish

"We don't speak Spanish here. Work Mexican gangs, and I don't know how to speak any Spanish...When they speak Spanish. `No comprende.' Slap them upside the head. Then they speak English. I'm an English teacher. Just like that. That's police work. And that's being able to pick out the people. That type of treatment is necessary..."

On conduct when working in a Black neighborhood

"You have to be a switch hitter. You have to be able to look at your area and look at how you talk to people. Look at how you deal with things and what you can and can't do even with a criminal. You can't go up in Bel Air, and some guy gives you a hard time in broad daylight, and slap them. `Dammit. I want to know what's going on.' You just don't do that. I mean, it's obvious. But when you work down in the south end, Watts, the metropolitan area, you work skid row. You use your stick more than your mouth. You don't--I mean, you just, you go of course. Don't try to tell people to go there. Go there. You just use your stick. Smack 'em. They'll move. They see no problem with that. They're where they are not supposed to be...."

Fuhrman also describes an incident in an East L.A. housing project where he and other police officers kicked the door down.

"We grabbed a girl that lived there--one of their girlfriends. Grabbed her by the hair and stuck a gun to her head and used her as a barricade. Walked up and told 'em. `I've got this girl. I'll blow her fuck in' brains out if you come out with a gun.' Held her like this. Threw the b*tch down the stairs. Deadbolted the door. Let's play boys...Anyway, we basically tortured them. There was four policemen and four guys. We broke 'em. Numerous bones in each one of them. Their faces were just mush. They had pictures on the walls. There was blood all the way to the ceiling with finger marks like they were trying to crawl out of the room. They showed us pictures of the room. It was unbelievable. There was blood everywhere. All the walls. All the furniture. All the floors. It was just everywhere....So with 66 allegations, I had a demonstration out in front of Hollenbeck station chanting my name. Captain had to take them all into roll call and that's where the internal affairs investigation started. It lasted 18 months. I was on a photo lineup--suspect lineup. I was picked out by 12 people. So I was pretty proud of that....They didn't get any of our unit--38 guys--they didn't get one day. I didn't get one day.... Immediately after we beat those guys, we went downstairs to the garden hose in the back of the place. We washed our hands--we had blood all over our legs....Well, they know I did it. They know damn well I did it. There's nothing they can do about it because we all, most of those guys work 77th together. We came in as gang unit. We were tight. I mean we could have murdered people and got away with it. We were tight. We all knew what to say. We didn't have to call each other at home and say, `Okay.' We all knew what to say.

Well why not give Dawg his show back a second chance? why not!!!,Imus got his job back and Kramer is doing ok and Mark??? well we all know how he is doing, I wonder if Grata from on the record will ask Mark what he thinks of Dawg Chapman getting his job back,that would be interesting to hear a REAL RACIST answer that one, because he proved its ok to be a racist, now didn't he. yup gotta to love America.
